Nicole Kidman has pulled out of the star-studded cast of director Woody Allen's new London-based movie.

The legendary filmmaker has landed Antonio Banderas, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Josh Brolin, Naomi Watts and Freida Pinto for the as-yet-untitled film, but Kidman will no longer share the big screen with the stars.

Allen has yet to reveal any plot details - but shooting is scheduled to start in the British capital this summer (09).

Kidman's replacement is yet to be announced.

In recent years Allen has moved away from filming in New York to concentrate on shooting movies in London making Scoop, Match Point and Cassandra's Dream all being filmed in the capital.

However this move from New York was a box office disaster all three movies struggled both critically and commercially.

He finally got success with Vicky Cristina Barcelona earlier this year, which was shot in Avilés, Barcelona, and Oviedo.

However the filmmaker is determined to conquer London and has lined up some of cinema's biggest names to help him do it.
